THOR #3610
Our 5th wheel hah a Schwintec bedroom slide that gave problems in the beginning. While at a rally we took it to the factory for our list of warranty items, that slide was one item. The techs checked out, showed me where/how to lube the tracks & motors & how the sync the motors & keep them synced.
To sync them extend the slide 3-4 inches then retract repeating 4-5 times in a row then fully extend, once you hear the motor stop continue to press the button for 3-5 seconds, fully retract & hold the button for 3-5 seconds after slide & motor stops. They said that every time you extend/retract to hold the button for that 3-5 seconds after the slide & motor stop will keep everything thing synced & working properly along with the periodic lubrication.
The techs also recommended treating all the slide seals monthly with Pledge furniture polish (I used the dollar store imitation) , works as well & much cheaper than seal conditioners sold at RV stores, spray on a rag, wrap around the seal as best you can & wipe top to bottom, use it on all the seals & rubber gaskets throughout the coach.
